If I see one more cuomo supporter from a red state shouting about rent control without understanding (or caring) that rent control and rent stabilization are different things, I’m going to walk into the sea.

Hearing that the DOGE chaos hurricane is hitting HUD soon, and the plan is to devastate federal housing funding. Let's be clear: this would cause a cascade of catastrophic impacts nationwide, shutting down housing and dumping families into the street.

not even kidding about this, do a super bowl ad about how Elon has your social security number and can shut off your grandma's check at any time

Maybe someone with the means to do so should take out a full-page ad in as many newspapers as they can that just says “ELON MUSK HAS YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER”
"I just want to be clear about what's going on here."

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Just a reminder that there are real human beings, with families, who are having their financial and professional lives turned upside down tonight by the richest man in the world, who has a string of his own families he’s abandoned, and who was not elected to anything.
